I wish for people who are on the wrong path to correct their ways and not get deeper in their errors so that they are won over. To correct those who are on the wrong path, I respond to misdeeds with good. My tone is always reconciliatory and compassionate. I want to win over people I criticize, not humiliate them.

Despite being a bad person is very hard, many people choose to be bad. And the number of good people is always few.

The most significant characteristic of the Qur’an is that it discerns between good and bad people. It is a marvel by itself that bad people exists.

Those who advocate love are gaining merit and at the same they are being educated very nicely. In this way, their lives in the Hereafter flourish.

The period of the system of Mahdi is a long one. The reason this period will be as long as 40 years is so that it possesses a great spiritual merit. Otherwise, God could establish the reign of Islam in one year if He wished so. However, the believers would earn one year’s worth of spiritual merit in that case. God extended the period of the system of Mahdi to 40 years so that it has great spiritual merit.

The evil words uttered by every immoral person would return to himself and would have no impact on Muslims.

It is not possible for Muslims to earn good merits, had the movement of the dajjal [antichrist] not existed.

There are good people but also a lot of bad ones who aren't reliable or consistent. Many people cannot live love under such circumstances.

The good deeds our disabled brothers and sisters attain are immense. Just like ghazis, disabled people attain great good deeds as well.

Anyone who is lenient and talks graciously earns merits. Believers earn merits for state administration for they also do it as an act of worship.

Those whose houses are destroyed in the earthquake earn good deeds as if they have given alms and those who are injured in the earthquake earn good deeds as if they are ghazis (veterans). May God give long lives to all the sufferers of the Adıyaman and Urfa earthquakes.

If no one ever objected to us as we preached the religion, if everyone accepted everything we said, supported us, praised us, what do you think would happen in the Hereafter? The reward would be much less. But if there is objection, if you are working and making an effort despite that objection, the reward will be immense. God creates resistance, a lot of resistance, only so that Muslims will be more greatly rewarded . It is a gift of God to Muslims.

God gives abundance and relief onto those who strive on His Path and casts troubles and problems on those with ill-will, as you can see. God opens the way for those striving on the good path. That is a miracle. God eases the way for those who want to advance on His path.

Ending violence using violence is the method of the dajjal. According to Islam evil should be ended by goodness, lovelessness by love, irrationality by wisdom.

A person, who refuses to surrender to his anger, starts enjoying the beauty of earning good deeds. We will always respond to negativity with kindness, with compassion and with forgiveness. Repel the bad with something better and, if there is enmity between you and someone else, he will be like a bosom friend. (The Qur’an, 41/34)

Every person, by means of God’s inspiration to her/his heart, knows what is right and what is wrong.

There is immense opposition against religion in newspapers, on the radio, in the streets, among families, in many different spheres. A Muslim preserving his faith despite all that would be attaining a lot of good deeds.

The existence of atheists, all their writings, their speeches mocking religion are there to increase the good deeds Muslims attain. As one continues in his faith despite all these, that makes him more valuable.

God says, "Repel the bad with something better and if there is enmity between you and someone else, he will be like a bosom friend." That means God tells us that He will reconcile the disputes and remove that enmity you have between each other.

One would ask for a long life to serve Islam. Without that service for Islam, life could turn into trouble for one. One might have a long life but end up in the depths of Hell as a result. An auspicious, long life is important. If that auspiciousness, those good deeds are lost, if one does not serve on the path of God, a long life would do him no good. A long life is important only to serve Islam.

The more hardships suffered, the more the good deeds acquired would be. The difficulties Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) encounters are countless. Every single hardship encountered is a step ahead. For instance, think about a 1,000 kilometer-long ladder, 1,000 kilometers of ascending steps; one climbs up incessantly and the spiritual ranks he attains elevate incessantly.

The longer one remains in this world, the more one might have the means to improve in the spiritual sense. After one passes away, after one goes to Heaven, there would be no need for courage, loyalty and everything else. They only eat and drink and have fun, praise God and become like the angels. That is why being in this world for a long time is rewarding as well; that is because when you remain in this world, you acquire millions of good deeds.

God controls all hearts. At every moment God inspires people to understand what is right and what is wrong.

A careful person can detect malevolent people from their negative energy. When hypocrites walk into a place, their negativity is sensed immediately.

Our Prophet (pbuh) did not bring any command of his own besides those in the Qur'an. The sunnah (practice) of our Prophet is the Qur'an.
